ARSENIC EATERS.
The Sale and Use CT Noxious Oompl xion-
Makers,

/ The Sale and Use CT NoXious Compl' xion-
Makers.
NEW YORK, June l8.-The habit of ar
senic eating is becoming more and more
common among the young woRen Of this
city, and physicians say that soothing too
harsh can be uttered sgsiER this miser-
able practice. Arsenic EaearatiOns of
all kinds are advertised, Aad vSsaous prep
srstioDs Of this deadly drug ere daily
sold for the alleged purpose Of besu;ify-
ing the complexion. They who use il
are daily laying the foundation CT dis
ease that will one dsy destroy some OF
their most vial organs. The actual OBJ
ject to be gained by arsenic eating is
that clear, white, almost transparent
skin, which they so much admire and
which may mean sn early death. A well
known physician said to q reporter to-
day: "The health department has be-
come alarmed a. the increase in
the sale and use Of these roXious com
pleXion preparations. Advertisements of
arsenic stare everybody in the face in
spite of attempts to prohibit the sale.
Claims have been made by the vendors
that there is so little arsenic in me pre-
paratiOns that no harm can come Of it.
IL opposition to this is the fsct that wall
papers, where the green color is given by
SCheel's arsenic compound, have been
tebOoed by the health authorities on the
grounds that even the small amount of
arsenic given off by eXEslatiCn had caused
death in some cases. Again, the results
obtained by the use Of arsenic show very
plainly the hErtfu! nature of it, The
exact state Of affairs brought sbo1t by
arsenic eating is a diminution OF strength |
Of the blood; the capillary blood vessels !
are stopped from working: the ends of /
the blood vessels are killed: no blood is |
supplied to the skin, ard the real reason |
for the white, transparent nature of the |
skin is that it IS practically dead. If the |
result Of arsenic eating is the |
highly transparent state OF the skin, and .
il this can only result from the kill |
ing of blood vessels, the claim that there !
is no harm done IN the habit becomes an
absurdity.
Physicians throughout the city are up
III arms against the use Of the drug. One
prominent doctor said: "I hope that
will be done, and done soon,
to stop this abominabIe traffic. II the de-
structiOn Of blood vessels was the only
thing the arsenic eater succeeded in doing
it would be bad enough, put that is not
all. The arsenic has bad effect upon
the kidneys, and is likely to bring out g
disease which will end only in death. 1t
mas also bad effect on the digestive or
gans, and soon destroys their action; the
liver, too, is diseased by the poison, and
the nerves become affected to such an eX-
tent that their control becomes impossi-
BILE. 1t acts upon the system in such 8
way that the victims of the habit become
lost TO all sense of morality. The practice
Of arsenic eating is g vicious one that
ought to be stopped Immediately before
any more harm is done"

Special to The Gazette.
GALVESTON, TEX, July - Frank
Goleon, Swedish gentleman oi bellig-
erent aud matrimonial propensities, has
been arrested Tor threatening to do Mrs.
+. Erlick serious bodily harm. Mrs.
Erlick is s widow of whom Goleon be-
came enamOTed, and sought her in mar
Tisge, TO which she was not eVerse. She
however, had an attractive daughter of
about fourteen, and Goleon had a young
er brother. This brother COurted the
daughter, so 2 wholesale union OF the two
families was determined upon. Before
this cOnsummation was reached Frank
changed his mind and proposed to his
brother # he would surrender the GaugA
TT to him and marry the mother he
would deed him bis interest in some
property owned by them jointly.
Whether this proposition was
agreed 20 or not is not known,
but il is q tact that Frank married the
girl and trouble at once ensued. The
mother, wrathy at being Tilted for her
daughter, spirited the latter away. Frank
demanded his bride of the mother, and
this being refused, he gave her terrible
humping for which he was arrested and
will have mis- examination tomorrow
morning. 1t is stated that the younger
brother proposes to pay the expenses Of
divorce suit if Frank will consent 10 be
released from the girl and carry ont the
original agreement, and if he refuses he
viii prosecute him Tor marrying s minor
without the consent OF her parents.

AFORTREss OF CRIMINALS.
The Desperate Population in the Unknown
Island of FOrmOsa.

Island of FOrmOsa.
It seems scarcely possible that in any
part OF the habi.able globe there should be
a natural refuge wherein criminals can
openly defy lay ana where it is impossible
for crime to receive punishment. However
lax We may be at times in cur judicial pro-
ceedipgs, says the Ssu Francisco Call
still we know it is possible 10 lay hands
on the evil perpetrators even though we
desire not 10 punish them In the Island
Of FormOsa, however, nature herself has
formed a fortified home for blOCdthirsty
criminals FormCsa is ar island
about ninety miles off the coast
Of China, from which country it is
separa ed by the Channel CT FOkien 1t
IVES unknown TO the Chinese until the
wear 1403, and in 1884 the Dutch ests5-
lshed settlement there, but sitter TWEEN
ty-eiGht years OF residence they were eX-
PEELED by the famous reDel, COyiuga, whose
successors ruled the island until 1852,
when the Chinese took full possession.
Then the population was , 900, 900 TO s.
0C0,CC0; now it has dWindied down 10
little more more thSn 100, coo. Al
though only $50 miles long and
eighty miles in breadth, nothing IS
known-5y civilized beings-of the
interior portion, for it is enclosed by an
enormous volcanic range, and it is within
this space that ali the abOrigines now
herd together. These natives have 8
slender form, olive complexion, long
hair, and blacken their teeth. They have
no written language, and their religion
is confined to q superstitious belief in
demons and sOICerers. No wonder,
then, that they are easily governed
by some of the more advanced de-
sCendGnts of the rebel Coxinga, many of
whom have taken up their abode with
them, and wild and desperate life they
Leaf. They take advantage of the asy
lun offered by this belt Of country to
mske organized expeditions therefrom
for purposes Of pIllage, and even 20 so
far as 20 arrange defensive operations
8gainst the jewellers on the sea coast as
preteXt for the levyiDg Of tribute. More
than 1000 cases of murder sre committed
Oy these people every year, and the Chi
set at defiance. The noun
famous nature of the country
and the large numbers to be dealt with
Drecludes ell success Of the Chinese
soldiers against them. The brigands
know every Ioophole and can get outside,
whereas the others are unable to get in.
The policy of the present Governor of
FOrmosa seems to be to draw all the ma
ives outside and away from their asso-
;iates. This plan has partly succeeded,
)ut there are still at least 100, 900 natives
eagued with the brigands, and NATURES
ofty volcanic walls still remain fortress
impossible to storm, but easily defended

IOHN NUNS STAY IN EGYPT.

PARIS, July Journal des Debats,
referring 10 theaction of Count de Monte
bello, French Ambassador at CONSTANT

yention, says: Nothing is more natural
than that French diplomats should at ore
time have considered that possibly
France would assent to the convention
shortening by several years the period
Or English occupation Of Egypt. We are
ready to negotiate on that basis now, but
We cannot agree that England, by any
preteNt should have the rlghtto perpetual
occupation OF the country, or that she
should be allowed to reoCcUpy it for rea-
sons of which she alone should Judge.
No Frenchmsn of common sense would
thus sanction d British protectorate.
